giffords. on the anniversary, republican tucson city councilman steve kozachek, known in tucson as steve k., organized a gun guy-back that allowed residents to turn in the unwanted weapons to the police department, in exchange for safeway gift cards, the grocery store chain that was the scene of the giffords shooting. they collected and destroyed more than 200 guns in that drive. but not without opposition. the national rifle association, of course, opposed the buy back and told npr that it will work with the arizona state legislature to re-write the law in order to make it illegal to destroy firearms in buy-backs. and one republican state senator even held his own gun buy-back on the same day as steve k. instead of destroying the guns, he and other gun rights advocates added them to their collections. just days after, he wrote this. the arizona republican party is an idealogical outliar, i see nothing showing that it is inclined to move anything but further away from the values of this community. i will, therefore, be changing my party register to democrat. joining me now, the rather than

'm dave clark. let's check weather, traffic. first we go to steve. steve, i'm feeling a change is coming. >> a very slow change but it's coming. we still have 20s and 30s on the lows. i don't think anything will come close to what we had on sunday. but still when you get 28 santa rosa. 29 livermore. each day the temps are inching upward. here is sal. >>> steve, good morning. westbound 24 traffic looks pretty good as you drive over to the tunnel. also the morning commute is not bad if you are driving on oakland freeways. let's go back to the desk. >>> oakland's public safety committee has approved a controversial crime fighting plan for the city. it was a anonymous vote by the committee late last night. tara moriarty is joining us live where that meeting tara, it almost got out of hand. >> reporter: it really did. the committee did decide to give the plan the thumbs up. now it will go before the council next week. chief howard jordan believes it will pass. he met with some pretty stiff opposition last night. as did members of his staff.

's such a great drive but be warned. >>> let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. avenirs morning. sunrise. you think it's cold here, crested butte, colorado, gunnison county, minus 36 this morning. minus 36. >> wow. >> ced butte. i've been there, but in the summer. [laughter] >> there's about 14 record lows set in colorado and wyoming. a lot of them about 10 below to 36 below. some of the coldest air in four years will be moving into the great lakes and the northeast in the next five to seven days. for us, it's cold. upper 20s are cold. another cold morning. a little bit warmer. temperatures are coming up slowly for some of you. i know it's not fast enough. but there is a slow warmup on the afternoon temperatures. but still, cordelia, 25. sebastopol, 26. healdsburg, 28. stanford, 29. i've seen more 29s. concord, is 28. livermore, says 31 but not far away it's 29. fairfield now reporting, 26. novato, 28. santa rosa, 28. officially it's 42 in the city. noe valley, san jose, upper 20s. clear skies looks really nice. high pressure has built in. temperatures are coming up a little bit. we're getting some

drug cartel money. and they put matthew davies in prison. lets bring in matthew's wife and steve raglan is his attorney. thank you for joining us, we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> first of all molly how did this idea for the business start and when you guys started it or matthew started it, did you guys have any sense of the danger involved, that the federal government would be this unreasonable when it came to state's rights? >> well, initially, we had some concerns. because we had concerns, we went to different attorneys we went to people we thought were the foremost experts on the cubject in california, and after meeting with them, we felt so secure. we felt that it was legal in california, we were going to stay within the state guidelines, follow all the laws, and these attorneys advised us that as long as we did that, we would be safe, and of course, because of what the obama administration said, there would be no problem so in the end my husband went forward because we felt so secure in the fact that this was a legal business and a business of helping people. >> steve did

any public comment on item no. 7? area codes. >> no. >> welcome steve. >> thank you. i think commissioner ortiz had the right idea. cell phones seem to be proliferating all over the place. why don't all new cell phones have the new area code? i get people's business codes that have 415 for their business and some other area code for their cell phone. it's quite common. and i think also what happens is a lot of people from san francisco take their 415 number. my two children live in san diego now, but their cell phones are still 415 down there. so i think it would be very easy for any business to add a cell phone with a different area code, and maintain that phone number that they have always had as 415. i think that is the right idea going forward. thank you. >> thank you. any other members of the public that would like to comment on item no. 7? seeing none, item no. 7 is closed. commissioners? >> well number portability is also legislated that you are allowed to take your number with you. i don't think we want to make any recommendations that discusses number portabilit

more expensive shipping cost that you will ultimately pay for. correspondent steve brown has the story from chicago. >> the great lakes are less great, according to the data from the army corps of engineers. >> it does still show below average water levels across the board on all the great lakes. >> second consecutive low snow winter bookending a dry summer pushed the great lakes water levels lower. worst hit is michigan. the water levels fell five feet at historic low levels now. to avoid scraping bottom going in and out of harbor, ships like this are carrying the lighter loads. in this case, iron ore. >> we lost 18,000 tons of iron ore. that could have been turned in to steel to make 15,000 automobiles and kept an auto plant going for 25 days. >> instead, it will take more trips for ships to make usual deliveries. >> a lot of manufacturers with the shipments. you could see 10, 2025,% increase in shipping cost. a direct impact there. >> it's the same story for farmers trying to get grain to buyers. higher shipping cost. higher prices at the grocery check-out. and ditto for gasoline. i

lived out by his gisat-grandson steve hearst. the now 80,000-acre hearst ranch is one of the largest and oldest working cattle ranches on the california coast. but when the new generation of hearsts took over, the question quickly became, how can the ranch keep thriving in the modern era? >> and it was my ranch manager cliff garrison who said, "gee, steve, it's a shame we couldn't do anything with our beef." and i said, "well, why couldn't we?" and so ultimately we started pursuing the grass-fed beef, and it fit right in with the whole conservation solution for the property. >> it's fun. it's a picnic every day. you know, we love it. it's a beautiful place and a great place to work. >> so from the shadow of their famous neighbor, the hearst ranch is stepping into the spotlight these days with their brand-few grass-fed beef operation. grazing on rolling hills with picturesque views, the hearst beef is billed as nothing being added but their history, and it's true. the cattle thrive on nutrient-rich native grasses that have been there since the days of william randolph hearst, and toda

illustrated. steve young, by the way, was ait five times. joe montana, 13 times. steve spurrier and john brody have also been on it. one year ago, it was alex smith right before the niners lost the nfc championship game to the giants. >>> so what are the odds kaepernick leads us to victory again this weekend? here's what vegas is saying about the four teams still left in the super bowl hunt. patriots are your favorite to win it at 6 to 5. niners at number 2 at 2 to 1. falcons and ravens coming up 6 to 1 and 7 to 1. >>> the odds of getting a great meal with tony's advice are extremely high today. >> today for tony's table, beautiful embarcadero, beautiful lamar restaurant. let's go in. >> we are marinating in vinegar, soy sauce. >> white vinegar and oyster sauce. marinate this about 15, 20 minutes. some of the flavor gets in there and then? >> olive oil. getting the beautiful brown color that we are looking for. >> searing it on all four sides. >> we're going to take the meat away. >> he took out the meat, but using the same pan for the veggies, b

the president usurping the constitution. republican texas congressman steve stockman talks about impeaching the president if he takes steps to upgrade gun safety by executive order. remember sharron angle, the nevada republican senate candidate talking openly about using second amendment remedies against public officials? people used to think she was alone out there, something of an oddity. what's becoming clear is in today's gop, she's more typical than not. ed rendell was governor of pennsylvania, michael steele was chair of the republican party. gentlemen, thank you. president obama will announce his plans for gun safety tomorrow after hearing vice president biden's task force recommendations, but already criticism is mounting on the right. here is republican senator rand paul of kentucky. >> i'm against having a king. i think having a monarch is what we fought the american revolution over, and someone who wants to bypass the constitution, bypass congress, that's someone who wants to act like a king or a monarch. i've been opposed to executive orders even with republican presidents, but

point out how hard this is going to be to get through congress. but representative steve stockton of texas appeared on fox news talking about impeachment if the president tries to push this forward. take a listen. >> we want all tools available to use, including that impeachment. using children reminds me of saddam hussein when he used kids. >> alice, i want to get your reaction to this. we have had presidents in the past use executive orders to push through gun control legislation, whether it was bush 41 or bill clinton. no one then talked about impeachment for those presidencies. why does the right have to go to such language based on the fact that we're looking at a massacre at an elementary school? how come the right doesn't want to talk logically about what can be done? >> well, i think that language is a little harsh but the truth is there's a reason why the president's going to be flanked with small children at his press conference today, as he begins his p.r. campaign, and why he's talking about using executive action on this issue when it comes to gun control, because he

parking garage. >> good morning, steve lee with sfmta. the two items before you one is a lease for the japan center garage with the japan center garage corporation. and a lease with the uptown parking corporation for the sutter stockton garage. both of the general terms for both leases are essentially the same. they are 10-year leases for $1 and they both have two 5-year options to extend. a provision of termination for cause with a 90-day notice. both leases are updated to incorporate new provisions and that include sfmta facilities and management regulations, corporation employee hiring guidelines, and a change in the capital set aside from a percentage net income to an annual fixed amount. the japan center garage totaled 920 spaces and generates $4.2 million annually and accommodates 500,000 transient vehicles. the sutter stockton garage is 1 865 spaces on 12 levels. this garage generated l12.8 million annually and accommodated 500,000 transient vehicles annually. the japan center garage corporation lease, the current lease was entered into in 2002. the current lease expire

? joey fatone: this is joey fatone. it's time to play "family feud." give it up for steve harvey! [captioning made possible by fremantle media] steve: thank you very much. thank you for coming everybody. hey, welcome to "family feud," everybody. i'm your man, steve harvey, and, boy, we got another good one for you today. i knew it. returning for the third day, from libertyville, illinois, it's the weil family. and from atlanta, georgia, look who's back. it's the ireland family. let's get it on. give me arvell, give me rick. let's go. ["family feud" theme plays] hey, guys, here we go. we've got the top 7 answers on the board. we asked 100 married women, name something you do when you catch your husband checking out another woman. arvell? >> hit him. steve: hit him. rick?

to these. >> thank you to the mta. >> chairperson chu, steve lee. >> it sounds like the mta concurred with the findings and was working to resolve the issues, but on the larger issue about whether or not this financial structure is still one that ought to continue moving forward. it appears that the mta is applying the policy very differently. and so in two structures they are dissolving of that original non-profit intermediary structure and two, recommending to move forward. can you explain what your board's rationale was for having an inconsistent application? >> supervisor, in addition, to the non-profit, the mta currently has in existence we have portsmith garage run by the rec and park department. so actually five non-profits existed as part, that we looked at as part of the inwinding of the bonds. what the mta board requested to do to go to the four non-profits that we oversee and have a [pha-ults/] discuss with each of the non-profits to see where they were in terms of unwining and serving in an advisory capacity. two of the non-profits choose to unwind their corporate struct

on this week's coffer. you know that steve young was on five times. joe montana 13 times. steve spurrer and john bro di have also been on. one year ago alex smith was on the cover before losing the nfc championship against the giants but don't expect any kind of si jings this time around. >> last year going into it we really didn't know what to expect. not many of us had been in the playoffs previously. you know we got in there. the intensity was a little bit more than what we expected. you know, we adjusted. we played well, beat the saints, and we went out there against you know new york giants, and we didn't take care of business. we didn't really understand the magnitude of the moment. >> they do now. five of the 49ers nine probowlers were brought to san francisco by former head coach mike nolan. >> here we go. let's go. it's on the script. stay with the script. >> nolan is gone from calling falcon in san francisco to coaching them in atlanta. here's the defensive coordinator for the falcons now. he's a little fearful of the team he helped build in san francisco. >> it's nice to know

. the full crazy came from texas congressman steve stockman who said he will try to defund the white house or file articles of impeachment if that's what it takes to stop the president from passing laws designed only to save american lives. which is not to say that congressman stockman doesn't have supporters. no former reagan attorney ed meese said stockman would have a good case for impeachment of high crimes and misteds against this president. we're only telling you what ed meese thinks about this because smirnoff and irrelevant '80s figures weren't available for comment. what would the president like congress to pass? jay carney was a lot more clear on that. >> there are specific legislative actions that he will continue to call on congress to take including the assault weapons ban including a measure to ban high-capacity magazine clips including an effort to close the very big loopholes in the background check system in our country. >> john: an assault weapons ban that senate majority leader harry reid said likely wouldn't pass the house. you see the president wants you to keep trying

, including our own rick santelli and steve liesman. it's all about the fiscal cliff in that report, isn't it? >> taken by itself not a bad report, moderate to modest growth, real estate not doing too badly. all the comments, i didn't finish counting them up, but the word fiscal and uncertainty both appear several times in the beige book, and the clear impression, bill, is that uncertainty over the fiscal situation is already hurting the economy, delaying hiring plans, capital investment plans and really everything from auto dealers in cleveland to farmers down in texas have cited the fiscal cliff as a major concern. that's something that's influencing their decision making right now. >> you would expect that given the fact that everybody is in lockdown mode as we wait to figure out what our tax rates are going to be, where the spending cuts are going to be, that it is going to impact the economy. my question is how much of an m impact going to see earnings? are they going to get hit? >> that's the key to the whole thing. as we said, the beige book numbers, when they came out there were cent

of the president's second term agenda will be easy with the republicans in congress. take texas congressman steve stockman. he replaced ron paul and is making noise about impeaching the president. it's his second go around in congress. in '94 he was considered far to the right. now he fits in with some of these people. it says a lot how far they have come. >>> finally let me finish with a need for republicans again to choose sides. the wild bunch or the posse? this is "hardball," the place for politics. ♪ [ male announcer ] how do you make 70,000 trades a second... ♪ reach one customer at a time? ♪ or help doctors turn billions of bytes of shared information... ♪ into a fifth anniversary of remission? ♪ whatever your business challenge, dell has the technology and services to help you solve it. this reduced sodium soup says it may help lower cholesterol, how does it work? you just have to eat it as part of your heart healthy diet. step 1. eat the soup. all those veggies and beans, that's what may help lower your cholesterol and -- well that's easy [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta

. >> thank you. >> good morning directors, steve with turner construction. another good period of work put in place these last -- this last month. let's see if question get we can get this going. 561,000 craft hours through the end of november/early december. a little more than 11,000 since we last spoke. the hours represent about 160-200 workers in the field on any given day across multiple shifts that we're running. and later in the report, there is a tally. that is over a thousand unique jobs during the transit center construction including utilities. so that is craft people, a thousand craft people having worked or touched this project as reported in the certified payroll system. the sc contractor made their milestone of 162 and actually completed 165 and is on track to finish on on-time. the excavation continues and the rains that we had a week or so ago slowed things down with a little mud at the bottom of the excavation, but it continues to move west to east and under fremont street is the next step. the access trestle was completed all the way to fremont street. so the contr

. this is how we will be judged. steve? >> nbc's peter alexander. jumps into the cycle now, we have michael crowley, bureau chief. we talked about the executive orders there and there is real stuff there. the meat of all this is the legislation that obama is proposing and asking congress to act. you have republicans and a number of pro gun democrats including the senate majority leader harry reid who does not seem enthusiastic at the start of the debate right now. realistically, what do you think the most is that we can get out of this in terms of gun control laws? >> not that much. the orders are incremental and they will make some difference. they are not going to solve the problem as it is diagnosed. i don't see action in the congress. i wouldn't be surprised about a fig leaf measure and congress wants to show they did something that is toothless. i think that might be a realistic option. i don't think you will see very much in the way of the package the president proposed unless public opinion does seem to be moving a little bit. after the other big shootings, you don't see sentiment in

kaepernick, check it out. even jim harbaugh gets second billing. steve young, joe montana, steve spurrier, john brody and alex smith before they lost to the giants but this year it's all about kaepernick. when it comes to the 49'ers, what's old or gold is new again. >> i guess so. so joe montana won't be suiting up, instead of colin kaepernick, but the hottest thing going now is retro gold like this jacket. >> this came out this year, the gold jacket, the sf logo, the back says 49'ers. >> the model, by the way, it will set you back $130, if you can find one. it's all hot stuff right now. >> i like the retro jacket. >> do you really? >> yeah, i think it's cool. >> i'm more of a red guy myself. if you like 49'ers merchandise and post season coverage go to our website, cbssf.com/sports. we've got it all right there. >>> play of the daytime, an amazing putback, we'll go to brooklyn, toronto's john lucas misses a jumper but terrance ross rises above the rim and says i will take care of that! he puts it in, the nets beat them 113-106. carlesimo is 9-1 as the

obama from using any sort of executive action to limit second amendment rights. republican steve stockman going as far he would go as far to the white house, and file articles of impeachment. >> the president and the second amendment, also understands limits what can be achieved with congressional action, which is why he's calling on congress. >> and obama uses kids as hume shields and wrote letters from knewtown and bring them up there to show of sport from the president to do something about guns. >> i think the republican party right now is having an identity problem. there's also a dark, a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party. what do i mean by that? what i mean by that is they still sort of look down on minorities. >> i disagree with general powell's assessment of the republican party today. we have a work to do on a number of issues, i don't think that has anything to do with tolerance. >> a new warning about the united states and our credit rating as the debt battle kicks into high gear. we have to pay our bill and the republican congress have two choices th

, i mean -- i mean, i'm stunned. >> well, i will also play some sound from representative steve stockman from texas, we'll play it in a second, but basically compared the president's use of children in the audience to that of saddam hussein. let's take a listen to that. >> using children, reminds me of saddam hussein when he used kids -- >> karen, we know there's going to be a fight, but it seems like the weaponry, if you will, that some parts of the conservative right is ready to deploy is particularly sharp, it's insensitive, it doesn't really have a -- i don't think it has a place in a discussion where we're talking about very basic issues of safety and citizenship, but it seems like, you know, i don't think anybody should be under any impression anybody's going to go quietly into the night. >> of course, not. we've seen this time and time again. any time you call out something that the right wing doesn't like, you're a racist, you're a sexist, you're bringing race into it, you're using children. >> you should be impeached. >> or you should be impeached. let's talk about the

harbaugh gets second billing. steve young was on five times, joe montana 13 times. steve spurrier and john brody have also been on it and one year ago, it was alex smith right before the 9ers lost the nfc championship game to the giants. but not this year. >> hopefully there won't be a jinx because a lot of times of you get on the cover of that and you don't do well. >> let's not say the word jinx. >> not for him. he is too knew. >> here's what vegas is saying about the 14 still in the play- offs. the favorites are favored to win the super bowl at 6:5. 49ers second at 2:1. and followed by the falcons and then the ravens. >> i like those odds. looks like it could be a niner patriots super bowl. that would be fun. they beat the heck out of them in december. that was fun. >>> for more on 49ers merchandise and post-season coverage go to our website, cbssf.com/sports. all things 49ers. you will find it right there. >> you think you will get your retro 49ers jacket? >> it's all about the gold this year. >> something to keep you warm, too, right? >

. . . well president obama. texas congressman steve stockman started team gop's call for imteachment and florida freshman trey radel signed on. >> like you mention he's putting out all of these executive orders and is overstepping his bounds. if that continues could that build up to make a case for impeachment. >> all options should be on the table. ask yourself what are you going to do when a republican gets in that you may not agree and like very much, and he is doing the same thing? >> jennifer: if the president's pursuit of an issue like gun safety that the vast majority of americans support is grounds for impeachment, imagine what kind of trouble he would get in if he actually fixed the economy or brought about world peace. alan grayson is here, and welcome back inside "the war room" and welcome back to congress. i know i'm a little late saying it, but welcome back. >> thanks i gave a speech about that scenario if the participate brought about world peace, and i said the republicans would accuse him of ruining the military. >> jennifer: do you agree that th

representative steve toath. representative, thanks so much for joining us. we're intrigued because you proposed legislation that would make it illegal in texas for anyone to enforce a federal ban, shall we say, on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines. here's the question. if the federal government, if the house and the senate pass this legislation that the president is asking for, he signs it into law, everyone in the united states would have to obey the law. how would you avoid obeying the law? >> in texas, we're going to do everything we can, wolf. first off, thanks for having me on. we're going to do everything we can to call people back to the belief and the understanding that we're a constitutional republic and that our rights do not come from congress. our rights come from god and are enumerated in the constitution. what they're proposing, and here's what i really want to stress, he said that we will be judged. our generation will be judged based on how we deal with this. cotton candy political solutions aren't going to fix this problem. >> but the congress, by the constitution, has

are joining the rand paul resistance. congressman steve stockman of texas has threatened to impeach the president of the united states over executive gun laws. former reagan attorney general edwin meece got into the act. he joined the conservative website news max to push the big lie. >> so if the president unilaterally overrides the second amendment via executive order, would this be constitutional? would it be legal? and how should congress respond? >> well, it would not be legal. it would not be constitutional. and indeed, if he tried to override the second amendment in any way, i believe it would be an impeachable offense. >> the constant representation of this lie is intensifying. a number of people on the far right wing are preparing for civil war. >> i'm telling you that if that happens, it's going to spark a civil war, and i'll be glad to fire the first shot. >> i unfortunately believe that there are many people in this country that will want to bring on a civil war. and in that scenario, the people will lose. >> without our rights under the second amendment, removing the re

to see you. you interviewed steve kerrigan, the guy in charge of the inauguration committee. you write that his mandate is to create an event with less dazzle, celebrity and hysteria that defined the first inauguration. how does he do that? >> well, the first thing you do is announce that there's only two balls, and that the president's really going to be spending his time laying wreaths at arlington and doing days of service and you know, encourage people around the country to do their days of service. he got a lot of push-back from that and so now they're explaining that it's not exactly two balls, it's more like six because it's in the convention center which can house 35,000, 40,000 people. >> in fact, they are expecting 40,000. you write one of the best-kept secrets in town is that the one public inaugural ball will be a doozy, with upward of 40,000 partying in a single bachanalia under one roof at the washington convention center. anybody can go? >> no. believe it or not, 35,000, 40,000 tickets are still being farmed out. there are hundreds of thousands of people that would like

? texas republican steve stockman has threatened impeachment in the event the president uses the executive actions to limit gun- control. he said to attack the president's actions are not just an attack on the constitution and a violation of his sworn the oath of office, they are a direct attack on americans that placed all of us in danger." >> you know, still reviewing all of those 19 steps, but it was positive to see the administration is looking at every option they can, what they can do with and without legislation to help reduce the impact and the toll of gun violence in this country. i think the president has been serious about this. a large number proposals go a long way. i think he realizes there are many ways to tackle a problem, not just one thing we can do that is going to save everybody's life. he understands there are many steps we can take. i think it speaks to the seriousness of the president on this issue and is encouraging -- like i said, will help get more people involved when we have it from the leadership of this country. >> and also the possibility of impeachment. expl

favorite sitcom fathers too. it's all yours. >> i was just thinking impressional 8-year-old steve kornacki. as lovable then as he is now. thank you so much. good afternoon. it's wednesday, january the 16th. and as the president offered his proposals in response to that massacre at sandy hook, he said this. this is how we will be judged. >> this is our first task as a society. keeping our children safe. in the month since 20 precious children and six brave adults were violently taken from us as sandy hook elementary, more than 900 of our fellow americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun. if parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, if hunters and sportsmen, if responsible gun owners, if americans of every background stand up and say enough. we've suffered too much pain and care too much about our children to allow this to continue, change will come. for all the americans who are counting on us to keep them safe from harm, let's do the right thing. let's do the right thing for them and for this country that we love so much. thank you. ♪ >>> today the president made good on

here. i think you captured the emotions just right. >> so peter king and steve israel both working together on this. it's too bad the congress didn't do it, speaking about the sandy relief. >> right. >> but finally, got up to close to what the president was asking as well as governor cuomo and governor christy were asking for. right? >> at the end of the day the number is pretty close and i think now the question really is using it wisely the rebuilding always takes longer than people want you to think it might. he specially with some of these tough infrastructure projects. the funds are there. the capitol is there. >> i don't know whether you saw last week's new yorker magazine had an article about climate change and what cities have to do around the world to protect themselves against future flooding and rising of the sea level and everything. there have been proposals, long-range proposals, extremely expensive proceed proceedsals to protect lower manhattan. is there any serious talk about that? >> there actually is. it isn't as though people are p

. >> steve basic. >> mr. speaker -- [inaudible] my constituency is enb during a hideous regulatory fast thanks to the health and safety executive and the european union. the british economy is very reliant on small and medium businesses far less able to cope with bad regulation particularly when it's badly administer inside the u.k. >> my honorable friend is absolutely right. businesses large and small are complaining about the burden of regulation. not just the burden of regular ration from europe -- regulation from europe, but more generally. and that is why we should be fighting in europe for a more flexible europe and a europe where we see regulations come off. but the view of the party opposite is sit back, do nothing and never listen to the british people or british business either. >> order! >> here on c-span2 we'll leave the british house of commons now as today move on to other legislative business. you've been watching prime minister's question time aired live wednesdays at 7 a.m. eastern while parliament's in session. you can see this week's question time again sunday night a

needs to be done. congressman steve stockman has introduced a bill to repeal the gun-free school zone toss get rid of that school zone loophole where people can carry basically all over the country except at places of work like a school where they fear prosecution, and that's what -- jenna: eric is calling this a loophole, lori where people know that they can come into the school grounds and that they are not going to meet anyone that is armed. the argument there is that we are leaving our children really open and defenseless. what do you think about that? >> i disagree with the gentleman. here is the thing. americans do not want to live in an armed society. we do not want a gun machine at every corpse, every church, every movie theater, frankly every school. we do not need this. we would like to live in a gun violence-free world, and arming more and more people is not the solution. americans are with us on that. they want their children in a classroom with a teacher engaging in the reason they are there, education. we should not ask our teachers to be armed. they have come out agains

, he will be our guest this weekend on sunday at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. steve in georgia, a gun owner. what are your thoughts? caller: good morning. one of the things i would like to see the president talk about is, under the first amendment, and that is hollywood. , in i grew up in the 1950's used to what the lone ranger and gene autry and all the westerns. i grew up playing with guns. but the problem was the movies back then and the tv shows did not have the violent graphics that you have nowadays. if a bad guy got short, he fell off a horse. you did not see any blood and gore. it was always the good guy winning. nowadays with the graphics and all the way that they're going about it, they have just blood and gore and brains shooting all over. that along with the video games is adding to the culture of the younger people nowadays. host: on twitter -- i want to show you an ad that was put out by the mayor's against illegal guns, a group set up by new york mayor michael bloomberg. over 800 mayors have signed on. [video clip] >> my son. >> my daughter. >> was murdered with a gun. >> it

the first cell phone. this might have been the first smartphone. but when steve jobs said the following, he started the real smartphone revolution. listen. >> this is one device. and we are calling it iphone. >> we're calling it iphone. back then, people used blackberries, then they started switching over to iphones. i bet you don't know who these two guys are. you would have if you were me, because i've come from canada. these are two canadians, these are the guys from canada who started research in motion, the company that makes the blackberry. what they didn't do, they did a lot of things right, but when they first saw this iphone they looked at it and said, nah, i don't think it will be that big a deal. that was not the right thing for them to do. let's talk about iphone versus blackberry sales. the iphone came out in 2007. the blue line is blackberry sales. the red line is iphone sales. see they sort of trended together for a while and then in 2010, apple started doing interesting things and started doing that with its sales. look what happened to blackberry. that's where we are today.

idea that senator wyden of oregon has been working with us and one, a newer idea that steve and i dreamed up in a bar in italy a few years. first of all, the president has been talking about stimulating the economy with transportation infrastructure investment. ron wyden of oregon and a republican from north dakota have been pushing for a trip bond program, $50 billion to be distributed, $1 billion to every state. we love the program, but it is going to help metro states, urban states. this concept of oregon and north dakota senators is a billion to go out to every state, so little states and big states all get the same benefit. this would be distributed over six years and the cost to the treasury would be paid for. and there would be no debt incurred at the state level. we think that that proposal has tremendous potentials. senator hoeven came by to speak to us last year and wyden last year. mentioned your program and we would love to see it. the next thing i want to put on the table and this should scare the pants off of all of you. this is real and this is jack's work, so you k

and utter a threat of impeachment against president obama. steve stockman, republican of texas, over the gun issue, said, i will file an impeachment resolution against him. so it really is much the same. there's an oppositional, almost insurgent republican party and democrats who have been sometimes naive about what the opposition really feels, what they're really ready to do, especially the sort of core, hard-core wing of the republican party. >> hey, peter, robert gibbs was just on with us, and it's something you just mentioned. the level of exhaustion within the white house, of the people re-interviewed, that you went back to this year, four years later, how many of them mentioned the exhaustion factors as a component part of what happens to them? >> oh, sure, all of them, basically, i think, suffered it from some way or another. melody barnes, you just had on your program, talked about sleeping with her blackberry and waking up with a start at 3:00 in the morning, suddenly, you know, trying to think about something she hadn't done or worrying about some crisis that was going to happen. c

representative steve stockton, republican of texas -- host: the n.r.a. put out a new ad yesterday. take a look. >> are the president's kids more important than yours? then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school? mr. obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he's just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to fair share of security. protection for their kids and gun-free zones for ours. host: that's the latest ad by the n.r.a. put out yesterday getting a lot of feedback about the ad using the -- invoking the president's children in that. "the washington times" has this headline. the only headline about president obama's event later this morning. obama recruits children to push gun bans. acting a month after the connecticut school shooting, president obama will unveil sweeping package of gun control wednesday and will challenge congress to ban high-capacity magazines and military-style semiautomatic rifles involved in recent shooting rampages. host: that is our question for all of you. if pre
